Mbappe’s 87th-minute goal lifts Real Madrid past Barca 2-1
What’s next: The win cut Barcelona’s lead to three points, keeping the La Liga title race tight before November.
Kylian Mbappe scored twice, including an 87th-minute winner, to give Real Madrid a 2-1 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico at Camp Nou and hand Jose Mourinho a statement road win. Mbappe’s first goal came in the 41st minute when Gerard Martin’s clearance ricocheted off him and into the net. Barcelona leveled in the 61st through Raphinha after pressure from Pedri’s pass, but Mbappe finished late from Eduardo Camavinga’s cutback after a Jude Bellingham move. The result ended Barcelona’s unbeaten league start and brought Real within three points of the leaders. Atletico Madrid also sit close behind, adding pressure near the top of La Liga.
